Elementary School
This book follows Charlie who gets to go on a tour of the famous Willy Wonka's chocolate factory after finding the magical golden ticket that is super sought after!
This book is a great lesson to kids as it teaches them that kids who are spoiled, mean and short tempered aren't nice and that they don't get the reward in the end.

Everyone should read this book. Then read it again. Then watch both film versions and read it again and compare and contrast all of them. Simply watching a movie is not an adequate replacement for reading the book (as is almost always the case). Roald Dahl has such a talent for creating realistic characters in fully fantastic stories. More authors should be like Roald Dahl. ( )

A great classic. ( )

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an excellent story for young readers. It transports them to another world with its use of descriptive language. It helps children to paint mental pictures in their heads. It also offers some outstanding life lessons to young readers. ( )
